gravesbane:
Would you feel in any way responsible for someone pulling a copycat on a plot from your writing? ie simular murder, crime, or terrorist attack.

Your input would be greatly welcomed.

Tersa:
Er... what do you mean?  If you mean doing that to someone else, I have had people jack my characters and what not before, and I went off on them.  Pulling inspiration is one thing, copying is another.  It's fine to get ideas and inspiration, just twist it to make it yours. 

Murphy's Stunt Double:
I think  graves meant actually doing the "murder" of your Plot in real life against real people...

Personally I wouldn't feel responsible, but I would be REALLY weirded out by it.

Ahh, see, that's why I shouldn't post on here, I'm an idiot.  :-[

But I concur with M.S.D.  It's not your fault, just bizarre...

Responsible?  No.  No way.  No how.
